About us

The Autonomous Province of Trento, through Trentino Marketing, will be joined by other local institutions. The University of Trento, in addition to making its contribution through its participation in the Scientific Committee, will make available spaces at the University for the organisation of events, and will contribute to initiatives aimed at the student community. The Municipality of Trento will share proposals and contents of the Festival in a logic of coherence with the cultural and tourist offer of the city, in addition to contributing to the organisational support of the event and making urban and institutional spaces available.

The Gruppo Il Sole 24 ORE is the leading editorial group in Italy in the economic, financial, regulatory, and cultural information sector. With a history rooted in over 160 years of authoritative and reliable journalism, the Group is today the only editorial hub in Italy to possess a complete multimedia information platform, equipped with all the main means of dissemination: newspaper, magazines, digital platforms, news agency, radio, television, books, and podcasts, along with professional publishing, training, exhibitions, and events.

It is an integrated and synergistic ecosystem in which every asset contributes to a coherent and complementary editorial design: the daily newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, an absolute point of reference for those who want to read the economy and the world with depth and rigor; the digital platform ilsole24ore.com, a stronghold for real-time news and a continuously evolving hub for Group initiatives; Radiocor, the leading news agency in real-time economic-financial information; Radio 24, Italy's first news&talk station; and Il Sole 24 Ore TV, the in-depth television channel that brings the same authority as the Group's publications to the screen. A unique presence that combines authority and speed through all languages and cross-media intersections.

Around this editorial core, a system of excellence has developed that makes the Group a unique interlocutor for companies, the business community, professionals, public administration, institutions, and citizens. Il Sole 24 ORE Professionale provides essential tools, services, and content for those working in the professional world. 24 ORE Eventi designs and produces hundreds of appointments each year, including conferences, thematic forums, and major national events such as the Festival dell'Economia di Trento, which become strategic networking platforms. 24 ORE Cultura promotes culture as a bridge between different worlds: from publishing activities to museum management, and major exhibitions that reach millions of visitors in Italy and abroad every year. 24 ORE System, the Group’s advertising agency, is capable of connecting brands to the most qualified audiences through the Group's titles and a selected portfolio of national and international publishers.

These are now joined by innovative projects born from the synergy of the Group's knowledge and expertise: 24 ORE Podcast is the family brand that gathers original productions from Il Sole 24 Ore and Radio 24, as well as projects created in synergy with all areas of the Group. 24 ORE Salute is the innovative cross-media platform on health and medicine topics, serving sector companies, institutions, and citizens, combining the authority, reliability, and communication skills of the publications with the project capabilities of all Group areas. 24 ORE Factory coordinates the Group's audiovisual productions, overseeing video storytelling in all its forms with quality and consistency.

In an increasingly fragmented and noisy media landscape, characterized by misinformation and fake news, the Gruppo Il Sole 24 ORE represents a stronghold of reliability, competence, and responsibility. With all its means and voices, and an aptitude for continuous innovation, the Group works every day to build a society that is better informed, more aware, and more focused on building the future.

The Scientific Committee is composed of Professor Ericka Costa, Associate in Business Administration of the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Trento, Professor Luigi Bonatti, Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Trento, and the historian of economics Adriana Castagnoli, former professor of Contemporary History at the University of Turin.
